Questions and Answers
How good of an athlete must I be to do this ride? Mainly you have to be able to sit on a bike all day. If you’ve never done a ride longer than a couple of hours this isn’t for you…unless you want to use this as a catalyst to do it and now suddenly I’m really interested in you going. Please email me and I’ll give you a plan, it mainly involves long weekend rides and joining Strava to follow along. If I can do this anyone can, but you will have a to prove it through Strava to get there.
Is this a no-drop ride? Yes. We won’t leave you in the middle of no where to hitchhike and Uber back.. If you lag too far we may call the car to come get you. This isn’t a bike ride to wear your Elmo suit (that’d be called Ragbrai).
What should I bring? I’ll get you a packing list once you sign up.
What else should I know? I’ll probably text you the night before everything that I forgot. Like most things I do…this will be half-baked, AND there’ll be friends of mine who are way smarter and will take over and make sure we don’t die. I have great friends. I will convince them to do this. It’s my gift to the world.
When you say good food and something to drink what do you mean? I mean I’m not going to eat Chili’s after sitting on a bike all day. I’m going to shower and smell nice before dinner. There will be a caterer there to make us something really good. There will be wine, there will be beer, I hope there’s a fire pit and something to potentially smoke…so if you’re Wesleyan you’re welcome to come along, but don’t be giving me that stink eye like my mom.
